Really?

We met with the medical director to go over my diagnosis of stage 3 endometriosis and what that means and what he suggested we do next to have a baby of our own.  This is when it became real.  Up until this day I still thought I was going to just WOW! get pregnant on my own.  He explained that with stage 3, most of my reproductive system was affected by the disease and he did not know how long the disease had been in my system.  He also explained that the only way to keep the disease away was to get pregnant....UGH!  Andy and I really were excited to begin trying again! The doctor said that being that he did not know how long I had the disease for, he did not know how quickly it would come back......therefore he did not suggest we try on our own, he suggested we go straight to IVF for a better chance. We were angry......how dare we not get the chance?? Is this really happening??? We can't even try on our own now that I'm "fixed?"  We thought about it for like.....7 seconds and decieded, we really want a baby, lets do this! He told us we could call and let him know if we decided we wanted to do it but we told him that we were 100% sure and we wanted to start it as soon as possible! He said "Wonderful, our next IVF round begins the day after Thanksgiving, this is our last one for 2012," I remember feeling a bit faint at this point because that was only  about 6 weeks away.....holy cow!!! We signed up, left the office and were instructed to come back in on November 5, 2012 for our meeting with one of the IVF coordinators so we could learn all about it!
